The October/November 2026 issue of France Today is a beautiful autumn edition, with Burgundy taking centre stage as Caroline Mills explores the region's back roads in search of its finest food and drink. Elsewhere, Jennifer Ladonne uncovers the charms of Villeneuve-lez-Avignon, Dominic Bliss heads to the Alps for skiing and surprises in Le Grand-Bornand, and a leisurely Seine cruise through Normandy offers a gentler pace of travel. On the cultural side, Hazel Smith delves into the world of fictional detective Nestor Burma, Steve Turnbull pays homage to the French pioneers of photography and cinema, and there is a spotlight on film director Céline Sciamma. Food lovers are well served too, with Nathan Outlaw sharing four fish recipes with a French twist, Alexander Lobrano discovering a new generation of chefs breathing fresh life into French cuisine, and a timely piece on the renaissance of Nantes's Muscadet. A rich and rewarding issue for the season.
